There's been a couple of reports of problems renewing LE certs because names that don't have websites are being included in the "domains associated with this server".
Here's one post about it:

mail, autoconfig, and autodiscover, are the reported problem names.

Those are intentional - they are used for mail client auto-configuration by Thunderbird and Outlook, which unfortunately do need to make an HTTPS connection and expect a valid cert.
antioch, can you post the full error you get when trying to renew a certificate? It sounds like it should work with the new domains, based on what Jamie is saying, so we need to figure out why, specifically, it isn't.

i assume its failing due to those records not existing, as my dns is hosted externally.

Is the DNS feature enabled for this domain, on the Edit Virtual Server page?
